All sodium channels are inactive at this point‚ meaning that the current‚ conductance‚ and driving force of sodium is equal to zero. Potassium’s conductance‚ however‚ is greater than zero‚ and potassium has a high driving force and current during the falling phase. This is due to the opening of voltage-gated

concentration of sodium and potassium in blood. A steroid hormone called aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex in respond to rennin secreted by the kidney cells to stimulate potassium excretion by active reabsorption of sodium in distal and collecting ducts. Aldosterone increase active secretion of potassium in distal convoluted tubules and also stimulates the reabsorption of sodium on collecting ducts. Antidiuretic hormone also helps to regulate the concentration of sodium and potassium in

the body are closely linked4. The polar nature of water allows electrolytes such as sodium ions to dissolve. The level of sodium within the body affects the amount of water in and around body cells. The body gets sodium from food and drink‚ and loses it in sweat and urine. Sodium plays an important role in water balance and is required to draw water through plasma membrane of body cells. This is because sodium and water move simultaneously‚ maintaining equilibrium of water and electrolytes across

ranges: * Sodium: Na+ 136- 145 mmol/L: sodium is the most abundant ECF ion (cation- positively charged ion)(90%) and is responsible for the osmotic balance of the ECF space by regulating osmotic forces and therefore regulating water balance (interstitial and intravascular fluid volume). Other function include: working with potassium and calcium to maintain neuromuscular irritability for conduction of nerve impulses‚ regulation of acid-base balance (through sodium bicarbonate and sodium phosphate)

permeability of the plasma membrane of neuron to potassium and sodium ions causing an electrical impulse to be transmitted along the axon. When a stimulus depolarizes the membrane‚ a few of the voltage-gated sodium channels that are found in the neuronal plasma membrane open permitting sodium ions to pass through. Since there is much greater concentration of sodium ions outside the axon than inside‚ they diffuse in through the open sodium channels down their concentration gradient. This result in

The purpose of this lab is to study some of the physical properties of two types of solids – ionic and molecular. The samples used are sodium chloride (ionic) and camphor (molecular). The physical properties studied are odour‚ hardness‚ melting point‚ solubility in water and solubility in 2-propanol. It is observed that some of the physical properties of sodium chloride are no odours‚ hard‚ a high melting point‚ soluble in water and insoluble in 2-propanol; some of the physical properties of camphor
